HANDCRAFTING BEAUTIFUL WOODEN BOXES PLAQUES & SIGNS IS TRULY A LABOR OF LOVE FOR US.

We want to thank you for your interest in our craft, taking the time to look at our work, and reading our profile,

For more than 30 years I have been a manufacturing engineer creating precision parts for aircraft engine, Hubble space telescope, the international space station, Surgical medical devises, and Automotive racing parts and equipment for Top Fuel Drag Racing and Indy Car Racing. I have won multiple National Events in Drag racing and recently won the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.

I also have a Hobby, a craft with deep passion, creating art out of wood, family heirlooms that will last for generations. Attention to detail and precision, I have continued these traditions in creating decorative boxes and plaques, Each box is constructed using miter joinery, and unique double dove tail Joinery, made to showcase the beautiful wood grain as it flows around the sides of the boxes. All our Boxes and plaques are hand rubbed with Danish oil and polyurethane, and waxed to a satiny finish.

The highlight of each box and plaque is the decorative inlay with beautiful unique material I use 2 types of inlays.

 Traditional Marquetry:
Using precision cut beautiful carbon fiber to form a picture that is flush with the top of the wood surface. This material is very beautiful in person and there is no way to capture the beauty in a photo, the photos don't do them justice. If you are looking for that one of a kind look that no one else will have, then these materials will definitely accomplish that goal.

 Monogram Inlay:
Letters are engraved into the wood and filled with a black epoxy resin to form a monogram, once sanded down flush with the wood the look is amazing.

Over the years, I have taught my wife, Lisa to work with me. She does all the wood finishing as well as communicating with the customers….the job she really enjoys!

If there is someone special or something you want to display or to just be involved in creating something for yourself, it would be our pleasure to be a part of creating that heirloom that you and your family will enjoy for years to come As we design and make each box or plaque, we like to envision it being given as a gift for a delighted friend or family member. Or when our customer opens the package and sees it for the first time in person.

Once again thank you.
And have a blessed day.

Charlie and Lisa Mitchell
